Diolinda “Dollie” Naranjo, a resident of Velarde, NM, passed away suddenly at home on Monday, July 15, 2024.
Our mother and grandmother had a compassionate heart and was a natural caregiver. She was selfless, a generous contributor to her community, and served as a nurse for over 30 years. She was a faithful Catholic and her family was her greatest joy. She also enjoyed gardening, reading, and going to the casino in her free time. Dollie was known for her radiant, spunky attitude and she will be greatly missed by all.
